The women began to lament, so Abdullah ibn Abu Awfa said: "Do not lament, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade mourning, but rather let one of you cry over her own loss as she wishes." Then he prayed over her and raised his hands in supplication, as far as the distance between the two prostrations, seeking forgiveness for her and making du'a. Then he said: "This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do."
